Rebel News' Drea Humphrey and Tamara Ugolini join host David Menzies to discuss the Tax Revolt, the mayor of Brampton, Ontario, Patrick Brown, and the Wuhan Virus.
00:13:39.620More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:13:41.980The Ontario government has released its best guess plan for reopening schools in September.
00:13:52.220Doug Ford notes that when it comes to keeping our kids safe, I won't take any unnecessary risks.
00:13:58.060Well, it looks like the original recommendation by Toronto's leading experts at SickKids Hospital was thrown a political curveball when the updated guidance for school reopening
00:14:08.080doesn't appear to be based on any science or evidence-based decision-making.
00:14:13.220The suggested implementations will have lasting psychological effects, especially to the youngest and most vulnerable pupils,
00:14:20.740not to mention it looks like they're entirely unnecessary.
00:14:27.560The guideline published by SickKids is riddled with concerning verbiage, such as evidence specific to children and youth on non-medical masks is lacking.
00:14:35.740There is a lack of evidence that wearing a non-medical mask prevents SARS-CoV-2 transmission in children and in youth.
00:14:44.320There are limited data on the effectiveness on non-medical masks used for source control, but there remains a theoretical benefit, especially for older children and youth.
00:14:55.200Studies focusing on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the school setting are limited.
00:15:00.080There is limited evidence on which to base a pre-specified class size.
00:15:05.740We can see the reoccurring theme here.
00:16:38.280We have, in this province, we cancelled sleepover summer camp for kids, which I think was an absolute atrocious shame.
00:16:46.260And now there is this hysteria about going back to school when you showed in your superb report that if you look at the statistics, when you look at the science, that's not where the hysteria should be.
00:17:01.040In fact, if anything, we should be directing more resources to long-term care facilities where 82% of the deaths from this virus have occurred.
00:17:10.300That's right. Yeah, I mean, I think the government, it's been highlighted several times to the Ford government that the people most at risk here are the elderly.
00:17:21.960And, of course, that military report highlighted the squalor that these poor people are living in.
00:17:27.740I mean, that's a disease-breeding environment in and of itself.
00:17:31.080So, why the focus isn't there and on these poor, elderly, vulnerable populations instead of the children.
00:17:39.680And as that graph from Ontario Public Health showed, zero to 30, like next to zero risk there for that age group.
00:17:48.200So, you know, hypocrisy seems to be more and more the new normal.
00:17:54.100So, what are they thinking? What are they doing here?
00:17:57.540Yeah, what are they doing? It's funny you say that because yesterday in The Sun, there was a column by Smokey Thompson.
00:18:05.220He, of course, is the president of the Ontario, what is it, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union.
00:18:14.400And in his column, Tamara, basically what he was saying was about going back to school.
00:18:20.440He said it's going to take a lot of work in a short period of time to make it happen.
00:18:25.220And then one of his concluding graphs is, we are calling for a brief timeout for all of the players to be part of a plan that puts health and safety first.
00:18:36.100In other words, he wants two more weeks of summer vacation for the teachers.
00:18:41.280Tamara, the schools have been locked down since mid-March.
00:18:47.120I mean, what have they been doing all these months?
00:18:49.480Yeah, what is it, six months now, two weeks to flatten the curve, and here we are still have best guess solutions for back to school.
00:18:57.360I mean, riddled in that SickKids report, you saw it, was a lot of theoreticals and possibilities.
00:19:02.920But let's look at the data, let's look at the science, let's get some experts who are, you know, able to do the same and decipher for themselves and provide actual recommendations that make sense.
00:19:16.740And again, if we're talking about the health and safety of children, well, let's prioritize their psychological health and emotional, mental, and of course, their actual ability to be in a classroom and learn.
00:19:29.220I mean, masking teachers for some of these poor students, they're not going to know what's going on.
00:19:35.400They won't be able to understand and decipher what their teacher is even saying to them.
00:19:39.760And Tamara, isn't this part of the problem?
00:19:41.720You mentioned experts and what the experts are saying, and yet, if we go back several months, Dr. Theresa Tam was saying, don't wear masks.
00:19:50.320On March the 8th, you can look it up, folks, Dr. Fauci in the U.S., Theresa Tam's equivalent in America, was speaking out against masks.
00:20:00.680It was going to do more harm than good.
00:21:08.380And why the two metres and not the one?
00:21:11.080If we even, if we highlight, like the Sick Kids Report even can highlight, the one metre still offers protection.
00:21:16.300Well, and to pursue this line of thinking even further, Tamara, we know from the death toll of the Wuhan virus, this is really just a very bad flu season kind of death toll.
00:21:28.680When you look at the numbers, not the infections, but the people that actually died.
00:21:32.100So, if masks are effective and work, then why haven't health authorities for years during flu season being, you know, mandating masks?
00:21:46.160So, why for those flus were masks not even thought of and suddenly for this particular type of flu, if you want to call it that, it's mandatory?
00:21:57.100And I think that as you can research and find the data that shows that masking the general public, who've never been educated in how to properly, they call it donning and docking.
00:22:09.020So, the correct way to take on and put on a mask.
00:22:13.180I mean, people, the general public have no idea how to do these sorts of protocols.
00:22:17.500So, what they're doing is actually just increasing their infection risk because they're touching inside of their mask, they're taking it on and off, they're holding it down on their chin.
00:22:25.800I mean, they're putting it in their pocket.
00:22:26.960And that's exactly what Dr. Fauci was saying.
00:23:15.040I thought the people of Coburg and the tourists coming into Coburg would say, hey, here is a lawful way to enjoy that beautiful beach at Coburg.
00:23:23.820But nobody, hardly anybody at least, is doing that.
00:23:43.540However, you've always been able to access the beach from the pier and go through into the shoreline.
00:23:49.300I mean, there's a lot of gray area with who actually owns that space and what the rights are of the people to access the shoreline of Great Lake.
00:23:59.060Now, in Coburg, I think it was 2007, the opposite side of the beach, it's called West Beach in Coburg.
00:24:06.160And not where we were filming that day, but just west of where we were, about three kilometers, I'd say.
00:24:13.060So, there are homeowners along that shoreline who legitimately own their land, their lot line goes, in some instances, I think, up to 20 feet into the water.
00:24:23.780And now, they were having issues with pedestrians strolling their shorelines.
00:24:30.680And so, the town actually had a dispute with these homeowners.
00:24:34.460And again, I think it was 2007, where the town won that these homeowners couldn't fence off their property lines that go out into the water
00:24:42.660and couldn't have signage that discriminates against the pedestrians trying to access the shoreline.
00:24:47.580So, the town knows, they must know, that there is a precedence here that people have the legal right to access shorelines.
00:24:59.460I mean, there's a lot of safety concerns if people, you know, something happens, you're on a sea dew out in the lake there,
00:25:04.440which you're allowed, as long as you own a sea dew or you have a boat or a kayak, absolutely, that space is free reign.
00:25:10.740And if there's ever an incident where you need to get to shore quickly, well, you need to be able to access that shoreline,
00:25:16.320which has now been completely fenced off.
00:25:18.840So, it's a bit of a safety concern as well.
00:25:21.140And then, as you saw when we were there, the seagulls have taken over.
00:28:59.300And there he goes, like a scared little rat with a mouthful of cheese, Patrick, liar, liar, hockey pants on fire, brown.
00:29:11.500And wow, to think this guy was a heartbeat away from becoming Premier of Ontario.
00:29:17.220In any event, here's what you had to say about the mayor of Brampton who enforces the Wuhan virus social distancing fines with an iron fist, yet exempts himself from his own edicts.
